Wow, Garrett, those are some great rejections letters. They really took the time to honor your work that you should be incredibly proud of your talent and hard work. I've had some nice rejections too that gave me the hope to keep going. I related to your timeline as well. I too opened a micro press that I have to say doesn't burn me out, but it takes discipline to take off my writer's cap and put my publisher's/business one. The latter usually gets the shaft hence my gentle sales. : ) Good luck with your 2023 pursuits. I look forward to following your adventures and reading your work.
Hey Garrett, did you end up self-publishing this through Amazon at any point, or do you plan on self-publishing a hard copy after you post the serial here?

Love the title, very evocative.
Just subbed so got some catching up to do on your writing, but just wanted to drop in a note to say hi :)
